PyCharm: Environment variable $TERM_PROGRAM is unset.

[anki-code]

Hi! Thank you for the awesome xontrib!

I've faced with this in PyCharm Community Edition terminal:

xontrib load cmd_done
sleep 6
# WARNING:root:Environment variable $TERM_PROGRAM is unset. 
# It should be set by the terminal application on shell startup. Not able to find active window.

Because:

env | grep TERM
#TERM=xterm-256color
#TERMINAL_EMULATOR=JetBrains-JediTerm
#TERM_SESSION_ID=77455237-439e-4631-87d5-0c33757ebcdf

And the notification will be appear no matter for the terminal is focused or not.

What is the right way to solve this?

Thanks!

Could you post the OS and what shell backend is used by the pycharm terminal? I think one solution would be to set $TERM_PROGRAM manually.

It's MacOS. I see in the documentation:

PyCharm includes an embedded terminal emulator for working with your command-line shell from inside the IDE.

I can set $TERM_PROGRAM manually to avoid warning but this is not the solution for window focus detection.

Yes the feature doesn't work on Windows as noted. I don't use Windows but happy to accept any fixes.

This is on PyCharm in MacOS

Yes I understand, in that case I suggested setting the environment variable. You haven't answered the shell it is using, I guess it to be zsh (the default on MacOS). Please check why it is not setting the terminal program variable.
